With the Spring Forward 2025 update, Dota 2 isn’t just about gameplay changes – it’s also a treat for players who love new cosmetic sets.
Valve has officially released the Spring 2025 Heroes’ Hoard, a brand-new treasure chest that offers a seasonal mix of cosmetic items, reimagined personas, and ultra-rare drops.
What is the Spring 2025 Heroes’ Hoard?
This hoard includes a total of 13 sets, some themed around spring and fantasy, and even three previously released Personas that many players missed out on in earlier events. These include:
- Acolyte of the Lost Arts (Invoker)
- Disciple’s Path (Female Anti-Mage)
- Exile Unveiled (Male Phantom Assassin)
All persona-based sets in this hoard unlock their respective base Personas, making this a great chance for both collectors and newcomers.
How to Get These Sets?
The Spring 2025 Heroes’ Hoard chests can be purchased directly through the Dota 2 client for USD 2.99 each. There is no free or in-game way to earn them, so players must buy them to unlock the included cosmetic rewards.
Each chest contains one guaranteed cosmetic set, and you’ll have a small chance to unlock rare and ultra-rare drops, including exclusive voice lines, new animations, ambient effects, and models.
